ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 5/6/2018 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 4)

Very sorry to hear that. Hope this win tonight can assuage some of your grief..

 

Still can't believe they called double techs on that (and then a tech on D'Antoni). S-O-F-T.

 

Multiple consecutive blocks in a span of a few minutes can really take a toll on the other team. Not saying we wouldn't win without them, but Capela's domination in the paint killed whatever hopes they had on a comeback. Let's remember that absent a clear blow out, no victory is absolutely safe in the NBA.

 

He's allowed to have a bad game every once in a while. The good news is he seems to play well every other game in this series(Games 1 & 3), so he'll be due for a great performance on Tuesday.

 

I mean its not even that,

But you guys do it all the time though, it's like no one wants to let us enjoy this special team we have right now. And its kind of crazy to expect Harden to be like super amazing every game, every Superstar has moments in a series where they dont play well.

 

Harden didn’t play great but this a team game and if the Rox can pick each other up when one their stars have a bad night along with playing suffocating D the season is ours..

 

What was new from my perspective was how many below the rim blocks Capela got. That one on Gobert was priceless, but we’ve seen Clint make that kind of block. The blocks of scoop shots, however, that’s a great coaching adjustment.

And as far as whinning about fouls... the refs made everyone play through contact. I think we held our ground with active hands. This was a good, team win...Nice to see CP3 moving well on offense.

 

So sorry.

 

All of the vulgarity that comes out of the Jazz fans and they throw out Chris Paul’s brother......smdh

 

You said you wouldn't do two things and then proceeded to do them lol. Anyway, Honestly Im not worried about Harden he shows up more than anyone else even Chris Paul so far. At this point Im more worried about Gordon. We are not beating the Warriors without him.

 

Good thing is Harden will impact the games like a superstar more often than not. Rockets took both games in Utah....great TEAM this year....

 

on league pass you get the arena view at timeouts. those jazz fans make the walmart meme pics look like normal people

 

Yea I think we will when the time is right. Walked by his bed and his treat jar a short time ago and couldn't help but breakdown again. Just hurts so much to see his things. He's watching over us just like he was when he was here. Goodnight and great win guys.

 

Of course. But the Warriors are not Utah. And Harden has a history of apathy and basically 'giving up' in big games. I hope you are right, but am nervous that if it gets difficult, we'll see 'bad Harden' come out.

 

I'm just going to enjoy this game tonight, and not waste my time and talk about Golden State until we beat Utah in the 5th game back home!! Amazing team win! On too Tuesday night!

 

great win, lets finish this series soon

 

Harden was trash but he's carried us throughout the Playoffs. Don't overreact. I'm 99% sure he was gassed. These high intensity games are coming thick & fast in this round.

Tonight should be about Clint & CP3 not how bad James played.

 

I’m not nervous. I’m glad the Rockets got out of game 4 with a tough win. They overcame their first real adversity in a big way since game 2. This has been a battle test.

I believe the Rockets if healthy can beat the Warriors in the WCF. Gotta close out the Jazz Tues night first

 

Anyone know what Harden was screaming over and over at Capela at the end?

 

Yeah, people seriously need to chill about Harden. How many bad games has he had this postseason? Game 2 against the T'Wolves. Game 2 against the Jazz. And the 2nd half tonight. That's 2 1/2 legitimately bad games out of 9. And the Rockets only lost one of those games thanks to other players stepping up.
